Need
to provide access to a wide range of Web-enabled applications? Make available
a disparate set of files, images, and URLs both inside and outside of
your Intranet? Oracle Portal allows you to assemble entry points to each
of these data types all on a single page. What's more, you can
easily create different pages to meet the needs of individual job classesFinance,
Development, Human Resources, and so onor individual groups of users
within those departments. And Oracle Portal provides everything you need
within a single, easy-to-use interface. No longer do you have to go to
one provider for content management, another for search features, and
yet another for personalization capabilities to create the portal you
want.

Your
users will appreciate how quickly they'll be able to access the information
they need without having to hunt for hours across various systems and
Web sites. In addition, they'll use Oracle Portal's broad set of customization
features to tailor the content and appearance of the portal so it suits
their individual preferences. And, depending on how you set things up,
they'll even be able to share data with others, all from within a consistent,
familiar interface.

By the
end of this Quick Tour, you should have a good understanding of how Oracle
Portal makes it easy to create and access personalized views of the applications
and information you needreliably, securely, and most of all, easily.
